Risk factors of tuberculosis infection among HIV/AIDS patients in Burkina Faso.
Article in AIDS research and human retroviruses, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV coinfection is the leading cause of mortality among TB patients and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). There is still a need to look for cognitive and behavioral determinants of TB among PLWHAs. This study aims at identifying risk factors of TB infection among PLWHAs in Burkina Faso. A cross-sectional study design and consecutive recruitment method were employed. Adult patients attending TB hospitals or HIV clinics were recruited in two main regions (Hauts-Bassins and Centre) of Burkina Faso from August to October 2010. Stepwise logistic regression models were used for statistical analysis. In total, 734 PLWHAs, including 181 (24.7%) coinfected with TB, participated in this study. Of the latter, 53.4% were from the Hauts-Bassins region and 46.6% from the Centre region. Adjusted TB risk factors among PLWHAs were urban setting, TB history, higher number of persons living in the household, and poor geographic access to care. Moreover adjusted TB risk factors among PLWHAs consisted of CD4 cell counts below 200/μl, a history of sexually transmissible infections, and a past or present history of pulmonary asthma. In addition, lack of education and arterial hypertension were additional risk factors in the Hauts-Bassins region; for PLWHAs in the Centre region, male gender, jobs not in the private and public sector, and past or present history of cardiovascular disease were additional risk factors for TB. Common and different risk factors for TB were identified for PLWHAs in the Hauts-Bassins and Centre regions. This information will be incorporated into the HIV/TB control programs in the future.
